GETS $20,000 DAMAGES FROM J. P. MORGAN Jury Compensates Dairyman for In- juries Received on Night Frank Holt Shot Financier, Mineola, L, I, Feb. —Michael Lillilea, a dairyman who was em- ployed by J. P. Morgan on his estate at Bast Island, Glen Cove, has won a verdict for $20,000 damages against Mr. Morgan for injuries suffered on the night of July 13 last when Mr. Morgan was shot by Frank Holt, also known as Eric Muenter. After the shooting a rope was stretched across a bridge leading to Mr. Morgan’s house to prevent auto- mobiles from entering the grounds. Lillilea, who was riding a bicycle, ran against the rope and was thrown, suffering injury which physicians say dooms him to total blindness.

New York, Feb. 5—The stock mar- ket is still of highly conflicting conditions, t war of course affecting every move- ment. Peace and prosperity at home rule quotations at one moment; at another war and ruin abroad control. Between the two sets of influences no settled foundation can be found, no reliable plans made; the only course left being to take things as they are day by day. Home affair factory; politi Were laboring under a series are eminently satis and international r there no restraints probably be in { the midst of a boom never equaled extent or intensity. We may there- fore view the future with reiative con- fidence, assured of business activity and prosperity, until somewhat dis- tant period of readjustment arrives which must come after the war. Since peace, and the momentous changes which will follow, are not yet in sight, by conditions at home, which as just said are highly favorable in contrast with those abroad. The big harvest high prices for all owr agricultura! products are making farmers of the | West and South wonderfully pross perous. Our mines are busy and ob- taining high prices for their products, coal perhaps being the only important exception. Our steel plants as every one knows arc turning out the largest | product on record at abnormally high | six months ahead. with | ! many lines are now receiving | France, the | | is diffieult | arily it would be depr sold more than Our cotton and mills are likewise enjoying greater activity and good price: so too are our boot and shoe factories, automobile plants, chemical industries ete. The building trades are exper- iencing a most pronounced recovery, and the revival of enterprise in gen- eral is emphasized by the record of new incorporations in the Eastern states which amounted to over $330,- 000,000 in January. This was the larg- st total for a single month in many ears, and 300 per cent greater than in January a year ago. Accompanying these movements there has been a general increase of wages in the basic industries; advances of 10 per cent. having been often voluntarily granted. This means a large increasc of purchasing power among tho masses, plenty of emplovment for labor and relative avoidance of s ious labor troubles. The only threats in this direction are the demands of miners in the coal regions Wwhich will have to be faced next spring, prices, being often woolen | and those of the railroad men which already been broached. As for the railroads, their position has been much improved by the revival in trafic and the better rates which Traffic earnings correspond- results encourag- have is heavy, eross ingly large and net ing. The result is that current divi- denc e likely to be maintained, a few may be increased, as the roads are now better enabled to make in- creased outlays for equipment and roadbed. There is one other business stimulant that should not be over- looked, and that is the plethora of loanable funds. Our banks are over- burdened with funds which they can- not profitably employ. Herein lies one of the great advantages; also one of the greatest dangers in the present situation. Chief Uncertainty at Home. The chief uncertainty at home, out- side of our foreign relations, is the continued agitation for preparedness, the prospects of new taxation, the revival of tariff agitation and the launching of the presidential cam- paign which v igorously opened this week by Mr. of the war is yet not even the exhaustion on which the end will seemingly depend. The strain upon the financial resour- ces of those involved is beginning to tell. Nearly all the nations which formerly went to London, Parls or | Berlin for funds are now coming here. At the present time Great Britain, Ru a and Italy are each negotiating for credit or loans aggre- gating several hundred millions. But ome of these nations are finding con- siderable difficulty in financing such loans, notwithstanding they would be followed by further large muni- tion ordérs for American manufac- turers. The most important opera- tion is another large British loan | which may be placed this month, the | proceeds the | of the Anglo-French heing about exhausted. Loans Readily Taken. What the effect of these ope: will be upon the security mar to ite because of the jnnumerable ¢ currents. Ordin- sing. But thoe British loan will prevent the sale of mobilized Americans, and may thus discourage the liquidation of our se. curities privately held abroad. Bank- ers interested in floating the loan are likely to support the general re- serves for available reasons. There first effect will be to stiffen interest rates, and divert capital from home investment into foreign channels. This in turn will place a restraint upon too rapid develoment at home, though nobody enjoys sceing capital diverted from profitable employment on this side of the Atlantic to wastage oa the other, cven if the proceeds ara largely spent here.

According to the Labor Standard, a weekly paper published in Hartford in the interests of organized labor, the unions in the city are take an active hand the campaign here this spring. In the current issue of the Standard, it is stated that Charles Weare, presi- dent of the Central Labor union, will be nominated for councilman from the first ward at the republican primaries. It is said that Mr. Weare has a large circle of friends who will insist on his nomination. The newspaper says: “It is predicted that he can win out over any candidate the so-called ‘ring’ can put against him.” The Central Labor union has voted to give $25 to the Meriden strikers, who have been out seventeen weeks. According to the Standard. twenty- one molders employed in local fac- tories have been discharged “for car- rying a union card.” The molders’ union, it is claimed, is srowing fast and by spring will have a hundred per cent. membership. COLLEGE BOYS GIVE GOOD ENTERTAINMENT in political High School Affair Last Evening Did Not Draw Very Large Crowd However, Before an unfortunately small, but nevertheless appreclative audience in the High school auditorium the Mas- Institute of Technology musical clubs gave a con- sachusetts combined cert last evening. The affair was ar- ranged under the direction of the ath- letic association. The program carried out was a varied and pleasing one. Possibly the selection which pleased the audience as much as any was a reading by H. G. Mann, ’17. Mr, Mann is an ac- complished elocutionist and he gave his reading with a snap that was pleasing. Another number that was particularly well received was entitled the “Darkey’s Awakening.” This was a short sketch by the banjo club. The sctting was good, the lights being ex- tinguished, the entertainers sitting be- for an open fireplace. An Indian war song was a feature of this piece, H. C. Williamson, 17, who was to have ren- dered a vocal solo, was taken ill yes- terday and the club rendered a selec- tion in his stead. Five members of the club also presented a little sketch entitled “Experience Jr.,” a comedy dealing with a freshman’s first day's experience in college life. The Mandolin club, the Glee club and the Banjo club all contributed to the evening’s entertainment and the closing number. “The Cardinal and Grey,” by the combined club was well rendered.

There was marked heaviness during the active first hour, Mercantile Ma- rine preferred, recognized war issues, some coppers and specialists in gen- eral recording losses of 1 to 3 points, but in most instances these were largely if not fully regained. The closing was irregular. Bonds were lower.

New York Air Brake also de- noted pressure, and American Smelt- ing yielded easily to moderate offer- ings. U. S. Steel scored a slight gain at the outset, but this was soon lost.
